American National has claims teams on standby in the event policyholders experience severe weather-related claims. For personalized service, policyholders can visit their local agent’s office or call American National’s 24-hour claims hotline at 1.800.333.2860. Those with access to a computer or smartphone can also report claims online through the “Client Services Online” feature of AmericanNational.com.
If property damage does occur, American National encourages policyholders to wait to make repairs until an adjuster can complete a property inspection. If immediate action is absolutely necessary to prevent further damage, make sure it’s safe to make repairs and take time to thoroughly document the damage. All repair-related receipts should be saved so they can be included in claim reports. For those policyholders who sustained vehicle damage, appraisers will be available to assist with inspections.
American National’s website also offers several informational resources that may be useful to policyholders dealing with the aftermath of weather events. Information specifically related to severe storm preparedness and recovery can be found at www.anpac.com/safety.
